f3 puts major emphasis on dissemination of results and findings. Find the latest reports, newsletters and other publications from f3 and the collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system), as well as information on calendar events, here.
In the year 2017, the Swedish government proposed to introduce a reduction obligation for transportation fuel distributors. This would imply an obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil petrol and diesel through a gradual increased share of biofuels. The aim is to create improved conditions for phasing out fossil fuels through an increased proportion of biofuels with good greenhouse gas performance in a lifecycle perspective. The reduction obligation also means that not only production cost determine the overall economic performance of a biofuel production route, but also the greenhouse gas emissions. This is because biofuels with low greenhouse gas emissions can be...
In May, a list was put together by the f3 office, concluding links to scientific articles published in projects within f3 and the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (samverkansprogrammet Förnybara drivmedel och system) since 2011. The list has now been updated with several more publications and can be accessed here.
The list includes the 38 publications that are known to the f3 centre office and...
The project Public procurement as a policy instrument to support the diffusion and use of renewable transport fuels, carried out within the f3 and Swedish Energy Agency collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (samverkansprogrammet Förnybara drivmedel och system), finished earlier this year. With the latest two scientific articles, the planned...
On 27 October 2017, the Steering Committee of ETIP Bioenergy, in which f3 is represented, reached an agreement on the position paper of the platform on the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) II proposal. The full paper, and a summary of key recommendations can be found in the latest newsletter from ETIP Bioenergy.
Earlier this year, f3 published a PM that compared the RED II proposal from the European Commission (proposed November 30th 2016) to the current RED, in regard to the suggested alterations that are relevant for develpoment and regulation on renewable transportation fuels. The PM...
Despite over 20 years of use as a transportation fuel in Sweden, and a production, distribution and use established at a commercial scale in the more heavily populated areas of the country, the use of biogas is still limited in comparison to other established renewable transportation fuels fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) or fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
Stefan Grönkvist, KTH, has led a newly finished project within the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (samverkansprogrammet Förnybara drivmedel och system) that has aimed to increase the...
Future biofuel production opportunities in Sweden can be analysed in various ways. The BeWhere Sweden project series has had three different starting points, all with the aim of adding to the knowledge of aspects on optimal localisation of biofuel production through the use of an spatially explicit energy system model. Now, the third project within the series, titled BeWhere - Stake-holder analysis of biofuel production in Sweden, has delivered its final report.
The project has been carried out within the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels...
In May, an extended summary of the project Environmental and socio-economic benefits from Swedish biofuel production was published. The project, carried out within the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system), investigates the potential of non-fuel related benefits from biofuel production to contribute to GHG emission reductions when replacing fossil fuels. There are many valuable by...
25-26 oktober samlades ca 100 deltagare för programkonferensen Förnybara drivmedel och system i Uppsala. På programmet stod, utöver presentationer av resultat från 29 projekt genomförda inom samverkansprogrammet, keynotes från aktörer inom såväl politik, myndighet och industri, information om framtida strategiska satsningar, pitch av nya projektidéer inom förnybara hållbara drivmedel samt givetvis mingel och nätverksmöjligheter. Konferensen samarrangerades av Energimyndigheten, f3 och Plattform för...
Since January 2014, the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 have financed the collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system). The aim of the program is to enhance the understanding of systems among politicians, agencies and industry stakeholders through analyses that in different ways can work as scientifically based decision support.
In order to realise the innovation potential of renewable sustainable transportation fuels in society, the knowledge about innovation systems and technological solutions need to be combined with e.g. economy, psychology, and behavioural sciences....
In June, a report from the project Barriers to an increased utilisation of high biofuel blends in the Swedish vehicle fleet was published. After the removal of two appendices due to confidentiality issues, and a couple of paragraphs in the text, a revised version of the report is now available here.
